00:00:06,070 --> 00:00:02,869
welcome back to

2
00:00:06,789 --> 00:00:06,080
the coverage of artemis one launch here

3
00:00:10,870 --> 00:00:06,799
at

4
00:00:12,950 --> 00:00:10,880
space center in florida i am here with

5
00:00:15,110 --> 00:00:12,960
administrator bill nelson who was on

6
00:00:17,990 --> 00:00:15,120
hand for the launch today which had

7
00:00:19,910 --> 00:00:18,000
hoped to be a big moment in history for

8
00:00:21,349 --> 00:00:19,920
the space center but instead

9
00:00:22,950 --> 00:00:21,359
it'll have to wait for another day the

10
00:00:25,429 --> 00:00:22,960
launch attempt was scrubbed

11
00:00:26,550 --> 00:00:25,439
administrator thank you for being here

12
00:00:28,150 --> 00:00:26,560
what are your thoughts how are you

13
00:00:30,390 --> 00:00:28,160
feeling after

14
00:00:31,910 --> 00:00:30,400
all of this anticipation and build up

15
00:00:33,270 --> 00:00:31,920
and then unfortunately couldn't couldn't

16
00:00:36,069 --> 00:00:33,280
go to that

17
00:00:37,670 --> 00:00:36,079
we don't launch until it's right

18
00:00:40,790 --> 00:00:37,680
and in fact

19
00:00:43,830 --> 00:00:40,800
they've got a problem with the

20
00:00:45,430 --> 00:00:43,840
gases going on the engine bleed on one

21
00:00:47,590 --> 00:00:45,440
engine

22
00:00:49,670 --> 00:00:47,600
you can't go you there are certain

23
00:00:50,790 --> 00:00:49,680
guidelines

24
00:00:53,830 --> 00:00:50,800
and i think

25
00:00:56,470 --> 00:00:53,840
it's just illustrative that this is a

26
00:00:58,389 --> 00:00:56,480
very complicated machine

27
00:00:59,430 --> 00:00:58,399
a very complicated

28
00:01:02,470 --> 00:00:59,440
system

29
00:01:05,670 --> 00:01:02,480
and all those things have to work

30
00:01:08,390 --> 00:01:05,680
and you don't want to light the candle

31
00:01:11,109 --> 00:01:08,400
until it's ready to go

32
00:01:14,149 --> 00:01:11,119
i have some personal experience

33
00:01:17,429 --> 00:01:14,159
and the crew that i participated in

34
00:01:21,350 --> 00:01:17,439
on the 24th flight of the space shuttle

35
00:01:24,830 --> 00:01:21,360
we scrubbed four times on the pad

36
00:01:27,590 --> 00:01:24,840
and the fifth try was a flawless

37
00:01:29,670 --> 00:01:27,600
mission uh we know

38
00:01:32,069 --> 00:01:29,680
had we launched on any one of those

39
00:01:33,590 --> 00:01:32,079
scrubs it wouldn't have been a good day

40
00:01:35,670 --> 00:01:33,600
and so

41
00:01:37,190 --> 00:01:35,680
that was hoot gibson and charlie

42
00:01:38,310 --> 00:01:37,200
bolden's crew

43
00:01:40,069 --> 00:01:38,320
and so

44
00:01:41,190 --> 00:01:40,079
you know it's just part of the space

45
00:01:43,910 --> 00:01:41,200
business

46
00:01:45,030 --> 00:01:43,920
and it's part of particularly a test

47
00:01:48,230 --> 00:01:45,040
flight

48
00:01:49,990 --> 00:01:48,240
we are stressing and testing this rocket

49
00:01:52,550 --> 00:01:50,000
and the spacecraft

50
00:01:53,990 --> 00:01:52,560
uh in a way that you would never do it

51
00:01:56,389 --> 00:01:54,000
with

52
00:01:58,709 --> 00:01:56,399
the human crew on board that's the

53
00:02:00,149 --> 00:01:58,719
purpose of a test flight

54
00:02:02,389 --> 00:02:00,159
and you talk about the complexity and

55
00:02:03,749 --> 00:02:02,399
certainly that is the case here

56
00:02:06,389 --> 00:02:03,759
and learning

57
00:02:07,510 --> 00:02:06,399
as we make these attempts in fact this

58
00:02:09,109 --> 00:02:07,520
engine bleed was something that they

59
00:02:10,949 --> 00:02:09,119
wanted to see and what dress rehearsal

60
00:02:12,309 --> 00:02:10,959
number four didn't get an opportunity

61
00:02:14,150 --> 00:02:12,319
for it so for the hard work and team

62
00:02:16,470 --> 00:02:14,160
that is still here actually gathering

63
00:02:18,869 --> 00:02:16,480
data from this rocket and its current

64
00:02:21,589 --> 00:02:18,879
configuration any message for the launch

65
00:02:23,910 --> 00:02:21,599
team i want them to know that they're

66
00:02:26,150 --> 00:02:23,920
doing the perfect job that they always

67
00:02:30,229 --> 00:02:26,160
do uh they're taking an

68
00:02:31,830 --> 00:02:30,239
opportunity while that vehicle is still

69
00:02:34,309 --> 00:02:31,840
fueled up

70
00:02:35,990 --> 00:02:34,319
to work this problem

71
00:02:38,790 --> 00:02:36,000
and they're going to work it they'll get

72
00:02:40,630 --> 00:02:38,800
to the bottom of it they'll get it fixed

73
00:02:42,710 --> 00:02:40,640
and then we'll fly

74
00:02:44,229 --> 00:02:42,720
and when we fly we hope to have all of

75
00:02:45,350 --> 00:02:44,239
our guests back of course there were big

76
00:02:47,750 --> 00:02:45,360
crowds

77
00:02:49,830 --> 00:02:47,760
here for this attempt a lot of special

78
00:02:52,309 --> 00:02:49,840
guests including vice president of the

79
00:02:54,309 --> 00:02:52,319
united states kamala harris was here

80

did you keep them briefed on what was

81
00:03:00,710 --> 00:02:58,319
happening and and what happens next yes

82

83
00:03:07,430 --> 00:03:04,560
i met her at the airplane

84
00:03:09,589 --> 00:03:07,440
i came straight here to talk to some of

85
00:03:12,149 --> 00:03:09,599
the launch control folks

86
00:03:13,110 --> 00:03:12,159
and she is fully briefed on the whole

87
00:03:15,670 --> 00:03:13,120
thing

88
00:03:20,470 --> 00:03:15,680
she's very happy to be here

89
00:03:22,790 --> 00:03:20,480
she is an enthusiastic space booster

90
00:03:24,470 --> 00:03:22,800
as is president biden

91
00:03:26,789 --> 00:03:24,480
so

92
00:03:28,630 --> 00:03:26,799
this uh this whole thing will make our

93
00:03:30,470 --> 00:03:28,640
country proud

and kamala harris also chairs the

95
00:03:34,949 --> 00:03:33,040
national space council so has a big role

96
00:03:37,509 --> 00:03:34,959
in our space program here

97
00:03:38,789 --> 00:03:37,519
senator nelson administrator nelson

98
00:03:41,830 --> 00:03:38,799
thank you for your time appreciate you

being here and uh you know uh giving our

00:03:44,869 --> 00:03:43,760
leadership here to this launch effort

101
00:03:46,710 --> 00:03:44,879
we'll have to wait for another day the

102
00:03:48,869 --> 00:03:46,720
next availability

103
00:03:50,470 --> 00:03:48,879
is september 2nd though we don't know at

104
00:03:52,309 --> 00:03:50,480
this point if the launch team is going

105
00:03:54,070 --> 00:03:52,319
to use that so we'll

106
00:03:56,710 --> 00:03:54,080
wait for a press conference roughly four

107
00:03:59,110 --> 00:03:56,720
hours from now to find out more about it

108
00:04:01,429 --> 00:03:59,120
that's it for now for nasa tv and the
